I Love You Phillip Morris

Jim Carrey's most recent film won't appeal to Ace Ventura fans, but it is one of the best and most bizarre roles he's had in years.

I Love You Phillip Morris isn't about an infatuation with the tobacco giant; it's an unconventional love story that casts Carrey as a gay con artist who eventually winds up in prison, where he falls for sensitive fellow inmate Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor).

When both men are released, Carrey returns to his dishonest ways with Phillip blissfully unaware of his partner's shady dealings.

Written and directed by the duo who gave us Bad Santa, Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, this is a cheerfully crass and undeniably oddball comedy that's not just for fans of Queer Cinema.

STARRING: Jim Carrey, Ewan McGregor

#1. Andrew R.

I was intrigued to see this film, based on the escapades and multiple prison breaks of real-life genius conman Steven Russell. However, also went into this not quite expecting big names like McGregor and Carrey to pull off these roles as well as they did. While the physical chemistry didn't seem to boil between the two, McGregor in particular delivered a very emotionally-genuine performance; and Carrey was right-on-the-money as the flamboyant Russell.
